What continuous operational resilience looks like under DORA

DORA shifts operational resilience from periodic security checks to continuous assurance that critical financial services can keep operating during change, disruption, and recovery. For CIOs and IT leaders, that means tightening access governance, segmenting and containing failures more precisely, and improving cross-domain visibility so modern and legacy systems are managed as one resilient service chain. The strategic implication is that resilience, security, and governance must be embedded into day-to-day operations, not treated as separate controls or audit exercises.
